| Description of the problem | Camry 2008 hybrid: visor slowly dropped down until finally it will not stay up. It obscures visibility and i had to take it down to drive. Now the sun obscures visibility ! When is toyota going to do something about this hazard ? I can see by the other entries that this is a common problem. The dealership wants $260 just for the part, then labor on top of that. Ridiculous. Before this happened, the floor was wet. The dealership said it was the air conditioner tubes that were blocked. The floor was wet again after the repair. They said it the cause that time was the sun roof tubes being blocked and i would have to pay for that since it was after the warranty. So i did. Had to. Now there is mold under my carpeting. The dealership now wants $1000 to replace the carpet. There were multiple problems with their communication and they were not truthful. I didn't get a customer survey. How convenient for them. This is my first and last toyota. Going back to ford. |
